Yes, generally this means that there are too many files, but not in this 
case. Even find gives me:

# find /mnt/BACKUP
find: /mnt/BACKUP: Argument list too long

or

# ls -ld /mnt/BACKUP
ls: /mnt/BACKUP: Argument list too long

Some directories are not big at all. My question is, is is a FreeBSD 
problem here, or is there something wrong with the drive (or am I doing 
something wrong here)?
For some reason my BSD does not want to eat that drive...
